FOXBOROUGH, Mass.—Second-year running back Stevan Ridley had a career day against the Denver Broncos with 151 yards on 28 carries, but he had another fumble late in the game.

Fumbles in back-to-back games at the end of last season led to Ridley being benched for the Pats' final two playoff games.

Bill Belichick didn't mince words when asked about fumbling—any player fumbling—and it remains to be seen if Ridley will lose carries this week after losing the ball against Denver.

INJURY UPDATES: Probably the biggest question facing the Patriots as they begin preparations for the Seahawks is which players will be available. Aaron Hernandez, who suffered a sprained ankle early in Week 2, returned to practice last week on a limited basis and may be back as New England travels to Seattle. However, both left guard Logan Mankins (calf) and right tackle Sebastian Vollmer (knee) were unable to finish Sunday's win against Denver. On top of all that, Rob Gronkowski is dealing with a hip injury that has limited him in practice. He played the full game Sunday but is playing through pain.
